Haha! That's fair enough. But the point of the movie, is that it becomes a societal "norm" and completely legal to commit murder on that day. You wouldn't be deemed a "lunatic" for participating in an event that had become socially acceptable. That's what I like most about the films. The fact that "ordinary" everyday people can tap into their darker side and take their vengeance out on those around them. No one is innocent nor guilty. If you had NO repercussions for your actions, you still wouldn't "purge"? Maybe it's because of an attachment to the moral idea of taking a life being 'wrong'? Maybe it's out of fear of being killed off? This is what fuels my question!
